hi all. I am trying to get 2.2.6 to compile but get the dreaded: checking for test routines... configure: error: cant find test code. Aborting config I have many instances of this but no real solutions I have RH7.2 and gcc 2.95-3 compiled by hand attached is configure output for compilation thanks sean -------------- next part -------------- [sean@sean-turnbull source]$ sudo ./configure creating cache ./config.cache checking for gcc... gcc checking whether the C compiler (gcc -O ) works... yes checking whether the C compiler (gcc -O ) is a cross-compiler... no checking whether we are using GNU C... yes checking whether gcc accepts -g... yes checking for a BSD compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c checking for gawk... gawk checking if the linker (ld) is GNU ld... yes checking for passwd... /usr/bin/passwd checking whether gcc and cc understand -c and -o together... yes checking that the C compiler understands volatile... yes checking host system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu checking target system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu checking build system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu checking config.cache system type... same checking for LFS support... yes checking for inline... inline checking how to run the C preprocessor... gcc -E checking for ANSI C header files... yes checking for dirent.h that defines DIR... yes checking for opendir in -ldir... no checking whether time.h and sys/time.h may both be included... yes checking for sys/wait.h that is POSIX.1 compatible... yes checking for arpa/inet.h... yes checking for sys/fcntl.h... yes checking for sys/select.h... yes checking for fcntl.h... yes checking for sys/time.h... yes checking for sys/unistd.h... yes checking for unistd.h... yes checking for utime.h... yes checking for grp.h... yes checking for sys/id.h... no checking for limits.h... yes checking for memory.h... yes checking for net/if.h... yes checking for compat.h... no checking for rpc/rpc.h... yes checking for rpcsvc/nis.h... yes checking for rpcsvc/yp_prot.h... yes checking for rpcsvc/ypclnt.h... yes checking for stdlib.h... yes checking for string.h... yes checking for strings.h... yes checking for syslog.h... yes checking for sys/file.h... yes checking for sys/param.h... yes checking for ctype.h... yes checking for sys/wait.h...

Aborting I was have this problem with 2.2.5-10 Solution : configure --enable-cups=no because 'cups' want libssl, and this library includes into $LIBS (in my config) this library exist, but in config.log write "-lssl not found" I can't talk to 'configure' what it must search libraries in /lib path I disable cups :) Good Luck Alexander Kuznetsov.
